About this study

Official title: Study of the Vaccination Coverage and Level of Protection Against Vaccine-preventable Infectious Diseases in Pediatric and Adult Risk Patients in a University Hospital

The purpose of this study is to determine

  1. vaccination coverage of recommended vaccines (routine childhood vaccines and vaccines against seasonal flu and pneumococci) in children with chronic diseases (allergy, cystic fibrosis, diabetes mellitus type 1, congenital heart disease, immunocompromised and solid organ transplant patients)
  2. the level of protection against measles, mumps, rubella and pertussis in children with chronic diseases.
  3. vaccination coverage of recommended vaccines (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis and vaccines against seasonal flu and pneumococci) in adults with chronic diseases (nephropathy, diabetes mellitus, COPD, heart failure, HIV and solid organ transplant patients)
  4. the level of protection against diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis in adults with chronic diseases.
Read the detailed description
  1. Chronically ill children 1.1 What is the vaccination status for vaccines recommended by the Superior Health Council in pediatric chronically ill patients (2-16 years of age) who consult within the University hospital of Leuven? Patients with one of the following chronic conditions will be included:
  • Cystic fibrosis
  • Diabetes Mellitus type 1
  • Allergic constitution
  • Congenital heart disease
  • Solid-organ transplantpatients
  • Immunodeficiency (congenital or acquired)
  • Cancer The vaccination coverage for the following vaccines will be determined:
  • Poliomyelitis
  • Diphtheria
  • Tetanus
  • Pertussis
  • Haemophilus influenzae type b
  • Hepatitis B
  • Measles-Mumps-Rubella
  • Pneumococci
  • Meningococcal serogroup C
  • Rotavirus
  • Diphtheria-Tetanus-Polio: booster (older than 7 years)
  • Human papillomavirus (girls of 13 yrs)
  • Seasonal flu (cystic fibrosis, immunodeficiencies) Timeliness of the vaccines given will also be determined. 1.2 Is the vaccination coverage of pediatric patients (2-16 years of age) comparable to the data on healthy children in 2012? 1.3 What are possible factors that influence coverage in this specific patient populations? 1.4 If the vaccination coverage is too low (below 90-95 percent), what are possbile solutions to increase the coverage rates within this group? 1.5. Determine antibody titers in this same population for the following vaccine-preventable infectious diseases:
  • Measles
  • Mumps
  • Rubella
  • Pertussis 1.6 Are antibody titers in this population similar to antibody titers measured in seroprevalence studies of healthy children in the same age group?
  1. Adult patients at risk

2.1 What is the vaccinatiestatus for vaccines recommended by the Superior Health Council of adult patients at risk (over 18 years of age) who consult within the University hospital of Leuven?

Patients with one or more of the following chronic conditions will be included in the study:

  • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
  • Heart failure
  • Diabetes mellitus (Type 1 and 2)
  • Chronic kidney disease (stadium IV and V)
  • Solid organ Transplant patients
  • HIV
  • HSCT

The vaccination coverage for the following vaccines will be determined:

  • Seasonal flu (yearly)
  • Diphtheria-tetanus (date of last dose)
  • Pneumococcus (1 dose/last dose before 5 years of age)
  • Pertussis (1 dose)
  • Hepatitis B (3 doses in specific risk groups)

2.2 Who immunizes these adult patients at risk?

2.3 What are possible risk factors who influences vaccination status in the adult population?

2.4 If the vaccination coverage is too low (below 90-95 percent), what are possible solutions to improve this coverage in these groups?

2.5 What are the antibody titers measured in the adult risk groups with a chronic condition for the following vaccine-preventable infectious diseases:

  • Diphtheria
  • Tetanus
  • Pertussis

2.6 Are antibody titers measured in this population comparable to those of healthy subjects as measured in previous seroprevalence studies?

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT03820752
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Pediatric chronically ill patientsThrough a questionnaire parents of chronically ill patients will be asked about the vaccination status of all recommended vaccines of their child. Also questions on disease, therapy and sociodemographic factors that can influence vaccination coverage will be asked. A blood sample to determine antibodies against measles, mumps, rubella and pertussis will be drawn from children who consent to sampling. The following groups of patients will be questioned: diabetes, allergy, congenital heart disease, cystic fibrosis, immunodeficiency and transplant patients, cancer patients.
Adult chronically ill patientsThrough a questionnaire chronically ill patients will be asked about their vaccination status of diphtheria, tetanus,pertussis, flu, pneumococcal and hepatitis B vaccine(s). Also questions on disease, therapy and sociodemographic factors that can influence vaccination coverage will be asked. A blood sample to determine antibodies against diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis will be drawn. The following groups of patients will be questioned: diabetes, chronic kidney disease, heart failure, COPD, immunodeficiency and transplant patients, HSCT patients.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Proportion of pediatric chronically ill patients correctly vaccinated with the hexavalent (DTaP-IPV-Hib-HBV), pneumococcal, rotavirus, MMR and MenC vaccine according to the Belgian recommended vaccination schedule.

    number of patients vaccinated compared to the entire group

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Proportion of adult chronically ill patients correctly vaccinated diphtheria, tetanus, pneumococci, hepatitis B and influenza according to Belgian recommended vaccination schedule

    number of patients vaccinated compared to the entire group

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Proportion of pediatric patients with antibodies against measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis in children included in the study and who provided a blood sample

    Determination of antibodies against measles, mumps, rubella and pertussis

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Proportion of adult patients with antibodies against diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis.

    Determination of antibodies against diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis

    Measured: 5 years

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Oct 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Belgium. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Proportion of pediatric chronically ill patients correctly vaccinated with the hexavalent (DTaP-IPV-Hib-HBV), pneumococcal, rotavirus, MMR and MenC vaccine according to the Belgian recommended vaccination schedule. (time frame: 5 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03820752, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Oct 2020.
